I was in the checkout line of a store today and a woman bought a few
things that totaled $5.34.  She handed him a $10 bill.  The problem is,
he hit receiving exact change in error and did not know how to give her
change.  Had to call over a supervisor to do this complex monetary
transaction.

I find it hard to comprehend that somebody, anybody,
doesn't teach people how to count change back when
not given the correct change or their cash register
is down.  It only takes once or twice practicing
to learn how to count the change back.

Why should anyone "learn to count" change... the register shows what
change the customer is due, so as long as the customer gets their due
correctly, "no problemo"...
And how many still use cash for purchases... can't remember the last
time I used cash for anything...  I've had the same hundred bux in bills
in my wallet for several years now, never touch it...
This is kind of like complaining that wives don't bother to darn the
holes in their hubbie's socks anymore... or that it's a real hardship
now to watch TV because TV Guide stopped their weekly print
publication... or that one can't get printed oil company road maps at
gas stations now...
IOW "an old person's problem" (not picking especially on you,
Joan...)...
As "dsi1" always sez, "We are now living in THE FYOOTURE...!!!"
